CONSUMPTION CURE.
The Novel Treatment Devised by Prom
inent French Physician.

Tho Novel Treatment Devised by . Prom.
inent French Physician.
A novel method of treating patients
suffering from phthisis is described in
the current number CT the Medical Rec
ord. 1t was devised by a French physi-
clan, Dr. Bergeon, Of Lyons. who has
been applying it for two years to cases
of chronic pulmonary and throat dis
ease. The results are said to be re-
markable. In acute general phthisis
there has been an arrest of the progress
of the disease and a cure in few
months. In advanced consumption
marked improvement of symptoms is
rapidly secured, night-sweats ceasing
and the cough becoming less harassing.
Two hundred cases have been treated
with singular success by DR.. Bergeon in
Lyons, where the climate is unfavora-
BILE for consumptives. His methods
have been introduced in the hospitals
there and in Paris. and the medical au-
thorities are favorably impressed with it.
The treatment consists Of daily injec-
tions by enema Of medicated gases.
Carbonic acid gas when introduced into
the system by this method is found to
be harmless and painless. Sulphuretted
hydrogen is mingled with it, the entire
structure of the lungs is permeated by
the medicated gas and remarkable cur
ative effects are observed. The carbonic
acid gas is practically inert when taken
up by the veins of the intestines, but
the sulphurous gas reaches every par
ticle of diseased tissue in the lungs and
throat, and is eliminated from the sys
TEN in the process Of expiration. The
volume Of gas used is very large. Al
the outset . single litre is introduced
but the quantity is rapidly increased
to ten or twelve litres for each injection
The results of this new system Of treat
ing consumption are SO well vouchet
for that we commend the subject to tn
critical examination of medical circle
in this country. Consumption is tn
chief scourge Of this country. Any de
parture in therapeutics so radical a
this French method deserves to be thor
oughly investigated and adequatel..
tested in American hospitals. DIR. Ber
geon is not a sciolist, but feputabl
physician of large practice and goo
standing. II his method be as effectiv
and successful as he asserts, it merit
general attention from the professio
in the United States.-N T. Iribunt

THE WRONG LADY.
A Boys Blunder Regarding Miss
@. H. Smith

II was almost too bleak q day to think Of
Cupids and mating birds, that 14th of
February, and Jamie Smith drew his over
coat up about his ears, nearly concealing
his uniform cap, as he plunged forward
through the whirling snow, quite regardless
Of consequences. Jamie was New York
messenger-boy, IN the regular service, and
he knew from past experience that he
would have his hands full this Valentines
r,av carrying sweet missives, bonbon boxes,
AL 'owers about, so there wasn't bit Of
use II fretting over the weather. As he
tore around the corner, head bent forward
and eyes on the ground, he felt sudden
shock and found himself sitting down very
Ehard on the sidewalk, while Directly op-
posite in the same posture, and making Q
great ado over it, was lady of uncertain
age and contorted visage.
"You hateful, ha-ateful boy" she cried,
clutching at the empty air in her frantic
efforts to rise "What do you mean, run
ming into people sol o dear!" and she
seemed about to cry.
Full of laughter as he felt, Jamie was .
little gentleman, so he sprang to his feet
and, holding out hand to tho struggling
lady, said very politely:
II beg your pardon, ms'am, but didn't
see YOU at all; won't you let me help you
up!"
A little mollihed, she permitted him to

The inhabitants Of the Andaman
Islands are the smallest race Of people
in the world. The average height Of q
full-grown Andaman is four feet five
inches, and few weigh over seventy-six
pounds. They are marvelously swift
Of foot, and, as they smear themselves
over with q mixture of oil and red
ocher, present q very strange appear
ance. Few travellers care to encounter
any Of these bellicose little people, for
their skill in throwing the spear and in
using the bow Is only equaled by their
readiness to attack strangers.

federal council chosen by the senate
from their own number, and presi-

State legislatures have only one cham

ed to be compulsory, males becoming

the council from their own number.
but residence is not required for candi-
dacy. Each senator and representative
has "supplante" or substitute elected
with him, who acts for his principal
when absent, thus avoiding waste of
time.

the route. Even the rush of a busy

the prospect Is that there will be des-
perate fight between this and election,
and both armies are making prepara-
tions for the fray. Sphinx and Faulk
counties are both no-license counties,
but having incorporated towns, saloons
flourish in such towns against the
wishes of the majority of the people,
Consequently the people see the neces-
s1ty of working for local prohibition
under the local option act, which grants
no special favors to interpretations. 1

pie Of Faulk county, and I must say,
"the half has not been told" never

bition leagues are organized in all pre-
cincts and in good working order, with
money pledged to carry on the work.
I hope our own county will not lose
her banner through feeling Of securl-
ty. I find whisky votes are made every
day, and our people will have sad
awakening too late, if they do not rouse
to vigorous action. ...

RUSH RIVER FARM, CASSELTON
DAKOTA.

EDITOR HERALD: ...as ~"
Here we are in the great "wheat belt
of the Northwest" the "Red River Val
ley", at the home of our kinsman Hall,
enjoying the beauties of one Of the large
Dakota farms, while we rest thoroughly.
Were it not for the prospective money
in it, the broad, expansive fields of
wheat which'.meet the eye on every
side would become monotonous and
tiresome; the average yield being 25
bushels to the acre, and never Less than
SOC per bushel, and that the exception.
The 25O acres of wheat, of this branch
of the Hall family, stands in the field
at a height which dwarfs my own, as
the head reaches my nose, and the oats
as tall as myself, with the heads well
filed up with Scotch Fife wheat and
White Russian oats; both of which are
used mostly in this country. The noted
Dalrymple farms are IN this communi-
ty, and we had the pleasure of hand
grasp by the wife Of one Of the wheat
kings by that name, who is an earnest
white ribbon woman, so devoted to the
work that she got UP from a sick bed
and drove eight miles to hear your
humble servant, doubtless feeling after
ward that she would have reaped a
richer reward by remaining at home
Her husband it was who was accident
ally killed, and the widow herself con-
trolls the business of the immense acre
age, the same as her husband. Who says
woman is inferior to man in business
capacity? J:
But here as elsewhere dWslls the ser

vision of sppils between the people and
